Exciting New Project Underway!
So any of you who may follow me on Twitter or Dribbble, might have an idea of something I’ve been working on with Niki Brown. (I interviewed Niki a long long time ago, remember?) If you don’t have any idea what I’m talking about, here are some of the hints (mostly all of which are not-so-subtle) on the new project we’re excited to be announcing very very soon! (perhaps even this week!)
Have any guesses?
After Picture
It only took a new minutes to clear away the clutter and get things back where they belong, viola! Desk is inhabitable again! (and kitteh is lookin’ cool in the background)
My Home Office, For Reals
I saw this post from Freelance Switch come into my Reader this weekend called “Real Home Offices from FreelanceSwitch Readers” – cool to see, but I am surely NOT this tidy! I’m sure many of these people snapped the shot after they cleaned up their work areas… I mean, no one wants to look like a slob! I’m totally not a slob, but I had a busy end of week last week and this Monday was just as bad – so this is what my REAL HOME OFFICE looks like today…
Yesterday I was featured on Web Design Ledger amongst 50 Web Designers and Developers to follow on Twitter. Someone finally clued me into this when I noted what a random occurance that I had such an unusual amount of new followers that day.
First, I want to say thanks to Thomas Hardy who including me on that list. There’s so many faces and names included that are people I admire, who have been both supportive and entertaining members of the web design community — so to be bunched into that group is flattering in the extreme.
Second, thanks to any new people who are finding this blog now because of that post! Welcome! In a nutshell, I’m a (still barely) 20-something internet nerd and crazy cat lady who resides in Seattle, WA where I run a one woman design studio. I specialize in Web Design and WordPress, but I have a full background in branding and print work — so i do all that stuff too. CMD+Shift Design is all about delivering work I am proud of to business that I want to see succeed. This blog aims to help other designers, developer and small business owners to learn from some of my experiences.
Lastly, I just want to say that I’ve met so many cool people just by publishing what I write here, so both new visitors and regular readers — thank you thank you thank you for being a part of this blog with me!
It’s been up for a few days now, the new face of Google image search. Obviously inspired by Bing, this is fun to play with. Try Googling yourself or business nameand see a quick glimpse at who you are on the web.
